Across the Footlights Shirley Booth Leads Charm to 'Other One' By RAMONA BAXTER BOWDEN From College's novel "The Other One," Lucienne Hill ias fashioned her play, "A Second String," now in New- York at the Eugene O'Neill Theater. It brings Shirley Booth back to Broadway, always a welcome star in any Arts in Silhouette Wood--so organic, so alive, so inherently warm and responsive to the touch of a sympathetic craftsman, is the subject of two exhibitions at the Lowe Art Center, Syracuse University. The nucleus of the duo, "Craftsmanship in Wood," assembled and circuited by the American Craftsmen's Council, is concerned for the most part with types of woods, crafting techniques treen by contemporary craftsmen. A complementary ihow, "De- an furniture and sign in organized by Ralph Laidlaw and Don "Water- nan, of the School of Art faculty, emphasizes design and variety in a wide range of ob- iecta in -wood and is furniture that has achieved 'modem status.

Always the ardent spokesman for the American in music music in America, Bacon says some pungent things. Referring to the colJectivisUc tendencies in contemporary life. Bacon points out that "an age of de-individualkation, like the present, nothing better than to plan every man's curriculum of life, from grade school up. Whatever statistical attractions this may have, it is the artist who fits least well into such patterns. He is tbe traditional bulwark of individualism, and is its last champion."

Symphony orchestras, opera and chamber music concerts, however, never have and never will make money. For these adjuncts to the good life someone or some institution has to undertake the losses. Referring to patronage in the past. Bacon observes that then it was "the Medici rather than Firestone Rubber; Esterhazy rather than the Petrillo Fund; ihe Archduke Hudolf instead of U. S.

Colette is reminding us once more that women are only secondary in a man's life, not a startling or original revelation.

In this case there is something sad and rather wistful about the wife who is forced to close her eyes to her husband's many transitory affairs. Farou, a playwright absorbed in his dramas, involved with his leading ladies and concerned more with plots than his domestic life, has little time for his patient, unemotional wife. Getting the play on its feet and the curtain up is the most urgent thing and the one person who is indispensable is Jane, his secretary. 1 Jane is so remarkably efficient that Fanny, the wife, finds herself almost a useless member of the household. Farou, a widower with a young son, has taken his second wife's love as a matter of fact for the past 15 years.

Fanny has devoted herself to her stepson, but now the boy is grown and no longer needs her and with Farou turning to Jane in every important matter, it leaves Fanny empty handed. When Jane is Fanny discovers that gives out snide, acid wisdom. Jean Pierre Aumont as the French playwright is full of busy activity.
